BLEEDING

Yoon SanHa of ASTRO delivers a poignant and emotionally charged narrative in his song 'BLEEDING.' The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tumultuous relationship, where the protagonist feels trapped and tormented by a love that has become more of a curse than a blessing. The imagery of '가득히 쌓인 베일' (a veil piled up) and '검은 눈동자 속에 감정들은 뒤틀리지' (emotions twisted in black pupils) sets the tone for a story of obscured truths and distorted feelings.

The song delves into the protagonist's realization that the warmth and light of the past ('따스했던 낮은 벌써 저물어') have faded, leaving behind a blurred memory. The metaphor of being a mere background in someone else's scene ('네 장면에서 난 배경일 뿐') highlights the feeling of insignificance and the loss of self-identity within the relationship. The recurring theme of entrapment ('덫에 얽매인') and the deepening pain ('추락해 더 깊이') emphasize the inescapable nature of this emotional turmoil.

As the chorus declares, 'I'm sick of bleeding for you,' the protagonist reaches a breaking point, rejecting the love that has caused so much suffering. The '가시가 박힌 네 품' (thorny embrace) and '선명해진 sadness' (sharpened sadness) symbolize the painful and clear realization of the toxic nature of this love. The imagery of the '붉게 피운 달' (red-bloomed moon) during the '계속된 밤' (endless night) further accentuates the ongoing struggle and the desire to escape from the destructive presence of the lover. The final resolution, 'Cause I won't be bleeding,' signifies a powerful declaration of self-preservation and the end of enduring pain for the sake of a harmful relationship.

The song 'BLEEDING' by Yoon SanHa is a raw and honest exploration of the emotional journey of breaking free from a toxic love. It captures the pain, realization, and ultimate decision to prioritize one's well-being over a damaging relationship.
